Altra Vanish Carbon 2 after 100km #shorts
Another race, another PB. How well did the Altra Vanish Carbon 2 perform?
For a "natural" running shoe that is supposed to be zero drop, I really had a hard time with the @altrarunning Vanish Carbon 2 initially. Bloody ankles, painful feet. Not what I'm used to with my favourite running shoe brand.
But they did deliver when I needed them most. Improved my half marathon PB to 1:36:10 (down from 1:38:52). So they'll remain my race day shoe, but not one I'd wear for training sessions.

    I wore Altras exclusively from 2018 until 2024. I have since quit purchasing them because the build quality it hot garbage now. My experience (over 3 different models) is they start falling apart at about 100 miles and are completely useless for running/hiking at about 250 miles. In fact, I’m pretty sure I could see yours delaminating as you were talking about them.

      now that I own a pair of Rivera 4 myself and did 4 runs in them, they are unfortunately leaving my shoe rotation (maybe I will use them as a gym shoe but not for running) a) they are definitely smaller than the threes. but not only a tiny bit shorter but way more shallow and more important: the outsole is 2mm more narrow (which is ridiculous as it already is altras slimmest shoe - shoud have called it "extra slim fit") b) the ride is way harder than it was in the three which disqualifies them for me as an easy/recovery run shoe. Even though I din't like the upper and terrible laces of the threes I will keep on using them. I guess the outsole issues came from the fact that I did a lot of treadmill runs in them

    If someone does short runs (or walks only), a GTX shoe will do. For longer runs it's only a nuisance, because the moisture will get inside anyway, but breathability is always significantly limited. Tested on myself, not an armchair opinion. I do 300 km/month all year round.
